AUTUMN BEINGS

performance

„With a sheaf of splintered garnets in a a glass pavilion       Instead of tepid mineral water, hot oil in the pond ignited with a flame-thrower That's a different kind of show         And we'll chop the swan's burnt feathers off with a chisel and eat its flesh         That's what you really like     Just look at what you're doing           Just look         You're doing it           It's really horrible what we're doing here together    I really didn't want to                        It's you                        Ow, that hurts: You act like you want to kill me, not make love      Ow!     I resisted so long        Ow! Ow! Ow!

            How blissfully the wild boar squeals as it's torn apart upon the springy moss in the eternal shadow of our Quaternary forest where the desiccant light of Denaturating fails to penetrate      This has been the most intense experience of his life  Give me another bite              You take a bite too … Meat  

            This is different fare than slimy moss, drowned bugs, and rotting beech nuts from the bog Ow! Now you're biting too hard            Ow! Ow! Ow!

            I love meat      I've gotten used to it  They sent me to the slaughter-house when I was fifteen

            They didn't send me till I was eighteen        The tempo increases   Along with the consumption of meat                        Everyone loves meat              And now how wonderfully we eat and drink one another

            How splendidly one another“

(Vladimír Páral: Lovers and Murderers)

Autumn Beings is a dialogue between two artists: Aloïs Yang and Antonín Brinda

A dialogue between body and sound, sound and body.

We invite you to share an autumn anxiety with us.

Come and go as you wish.

ANTONÍN BRINDA, born in 1990, originally from Czech Republic, is an artist. Antonín works primarily in fields of performance/live art and urban art. He is also an organizer/curator of various (mostly low-budget, “DIY”) art events.

After studying in Brno and Prague (General Art Theory, Film Studies and Site-specific Performance) Antonín currently presented his final MA project as part of the Live Art and Performance Studies programme in Helsinki where he was exploring areas such as traveling, urbanism, long durational performances or body art.

Antonín is a co-founder and a co-organizer of the multigenre Kůra festival in Kutná Hora (CZ), performance festivals Performance Crossings (Prague, CZ), Performensk (Minsk, BY) and performance art events Perform – or not (Tallinn, EE), Wärmflasche (Berlin, DE), Northeast of Yekaterinburg (Helsinki, FI) and others.

ALOÏS YANG, born in 1986 Dax, France, raised in Taiwan, now based between Berlin and Prague, is a media artist, interaction designer and experimental musician who produces work that explores the relation and interaction between people, sound, and the external world. His work is influenced both by scientific reference and human imperfection of understanding the nature. 

He overcomes the separation of art forms and genres with an integrated creative approach. He uses a wide range of media, from interactive installation to speculative design prototype and live audiovisual performance.

Interaction in Yang’s work takes place not just in objective reality, but also inside of intimate experience and imaginative projection. These includes traveling among such varied subjects as brain function, facial expression, micro/macro realities, virtual time-space, starlight, apocalypse, and the beginning of the Universe.
